U.S. has no right to block Israel on Iran: Netanyahu

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said the United States had forfeited any moral right to stop Israel taking action against Iran's nuclear program because it had refused to be firm with Tehran itself.

In comments which appeared to bring the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran closer, Netanyahu took the administration of President Barack Obama to task after Washington rebuffed his own call to set a red line for Tehran's nuclear drive.

"The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time'. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'" said Netanyahu, speaking in English.

"Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel," he added, addressing a news conference with Bulgaria's prime minister.

Netanyahu has been pushing Obama to adopt a tougher line against Iran, arguing that setting a clear boundary for Iran's uranium enrichment activities and imposing stronger economic sanctions could deter Tehran from developing nuclear weapons and mitigate the need for military action.

But on Monday U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States would not set a deadline in further talks with Iran, saying there was still time for diplomacy to work.

Netanyahu's comments came as diplomats said six world powers - including the United States - were poised to voice "serious concern" about Iran's uranium enrichment program and to urge Tehran to open up access to suspected nuclear sites.

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Tuesday that Washington would have little more than a year to act to stop Tehran if it decided to produce a nuclear weapon.

Netanyahu has had a strained relationship with Obama over Iran and other issues, such as Jewish settlement building in the occupied West Bank.

But he has never put differences with Obama - who has pledged he will "always have Israel's back" and is deep in a re-election campaign - in the context of morality.

The website of Israel's Haaretz daily newspaper said Netanyahu had carried out "an unprecedented verbal attack on the U.S. government".

Iran, which denies it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, has threatened to retaliate against Israel and U.S. interests in the Gulf if it attacked, and Obama's re-election bid could be thrown off course by a new war.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney has accused him of throwing Israel "under the bus".

DEADLINE

Without mentioning Clinton by name but pointedly parroting her use of the word "deadline", Netanyahu said not setting a clear boundary for Iran would only encourage Iran to continue its quest for nuclear arms.

"If Iran knows that there is no deadline, what will it do? Exactly what it's doing. It's continuing, without any interference, towards obtaining a nuclear weapons capability and from there, nuclear bombs," he said.

"So far we can say with certainty that diplomacy and sanctions haven't worked. The sanctions have hurt the Iranian economy but they haven't stopped the Iranian nuclear program. That's a fact. And the fact is that every day that passes, Iran gets closer and closer to nuclear bombs," he added.

Netanyahu also watched troops conduct an infantry exercise in the Golan Heights, where he said "the Israeli army is prepared for any challenge". Israel captured the rocky plateau from Syria in a 1967 war and then annexed it in a move never recognized internationally.

Widely thought to be the Middle East's only nuclear power, Israel says a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to its existence.

Recent tougher Israeli rhetoric on the issue has stoked speculation that Israel might attack Iran before the U.S. ballot in November, believing that Obama would give it military help and not risk alienating pro-Israeli voters.

But over the past week, Netanyahu, in calling for a "red line", had appeared to be backing away from military action and preparing the ground for a possible meeting with Obama this month, when both address the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

"The line is the president is committed to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and he will use every tool in the arsenal of American power to achieve that goal," Jay Carney, a White House spokesman, said on Monday.

Netanyahu has faced opposition at home to the idea that Israel might attack Iran on its own. Opinion polls show a majority of Israelis do not want their military to strike Iran without U.S. support.

An Israeli cabinet minister on Tuesday invoked his country's ostensibly secret 2007 air raid on an alleged Syrian nuclear reactor to suggest Israel could successfully strike Iran without U.S. support.

US stocks rise ahead of Fed meeting

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors are looking ahead to two events sure to move markets this week: a Federal Reserve meeting and a court decision on whether Germany can help support its struggling neighbors. And if the stock market's gains Tuesday are any indication, they expect both events to turn out well.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 83 points to 13,337 shortly after noon. Alcoa led the 30 stocks in the Dow, rising 3 percent, or 29 cents, to $9.34.

Federal Reserve officials will gather for a two-day meeting on Wednesday. Many expect the Fed will launch a new effort to revive the sluggish economy.

On the same day the Fed starts its meeting, Germany's high court is expected to rule on whether the country can participate in a European bailout fund. The court rejected a last-minute appeal to delay the decision on Tuesday.

"It's going to get interesting this week," said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at the brokerage Charles Schwab.

Frederick expects the Fed will make some sort of move, especially after the government reported last Friday that employers added fewer than 100,000 jobs in August.

"Prior to the employment report people weren't as sure," Frederick said. "I am definitely on the majority side here. There's some sort of easing coming."

In other trading, the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose six points to 1,435. The Nasdaq composite gained nine points to 3,113.

On Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported that exports to Europe dropped 11.7 percent in July, stoking concerns that Europe's troubles could smother the U.S. recovery. Overall U.S. exports fell 1 percent to $183.3 billion, lowered by weaker sales of autos, telecom equipment and heavy machinery.

Morgan Stanley and Citigroup rose after the two banks settled a dispute over their jointly owned brokerage firm, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. The deal ended a disagreement over the brokerage's price and cleared the way for Morgan Stanley to buy Citigroup's 49 percent stake. Citi gained 69 cents to $32.52. Morgan Stanley rose 42 cents to $17.03.

A profit warning from luxury clothing chain Burberry helped tug down other high-end retailers in early trading. Burberry said slowing sales to China will likely weaken earnings. Ralph Lauren lost $4.75 to $155.56. Tiffany & Co. sank an even $1 to $62.04.

Among other stocks making moves:

— Legg Mason jumped 6 percent following reports that its CEO will step down Oct. 1. Clients have been pulling money out of the money manager's funds, weakening revenue. Legg Mason's stock rose $1.49 to $26.96.

— Hewlett-Packard gained 46 cents to $17.90. The computer and printer maker said late Monday that it will cut 29,000 jobs by October 2014, or 2,000 more than it had previously planned. Sales of personal computers have slumped as people favor smartphones and lightweight tablet computers.

French ex-PM Villepin questioned in scam probe

PARIS (Reuters) - Former French prime minister and one-time presidential hopeful Dominique de Villepin was taken into police custody on Tuesday for questioning by magistrates investigating a suspected financial scam involving a luxury hotel network.

Villepin, prime minister in 2005-2007 under then president Jacques Chirac, was questioned about his ties to a man suspected of financial fraud and was released after seven hours, a police spokesman said.

The 58-year-old, best known internationally for announcing Chirac's refusal to join a war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq in an impassioned speech at the United Nations in 2003, denied any wrongdoing in the affair that surfaced publicly last December.

"I was able to restate calmly and simply in what is standard procedure that I'm in no way implicated in the sorry affair that involves one of my friends," Villepin said in a statement.

Magistrates are investigating whether a friend and political backer of Villepin siphoned off large sums of money when he was in charge of an association of luxury hotels called Relais & Chateaux.

Villepin was dragged into the probe after police phone taps exposed links between him and the man at the center of the probe, Regis Bulot, president of the Relais & Chateaux network until 2006 and a member of a Villepin support club.

The affair first emerged publicly in Le Monde newspaper late last year when Villepin was on the verge of entering May's presidential election race, a move he ultimately abandoned.

Le Monde said at the time it had access to phone tap records that raised police suspicion about possible attempts by Villepin to influence judicial inquiries into Bulot.

Villepin never held elected office but played a key role in French government for more than a decade, first as Chirac's chief-of-staff, then successively as foreign minister, interior minister and prime minister.

A prolific writer who has a legal firm of his own, Villepin has gone from one judicial imbroglio to another since his time as prime minister ended and his presidential ambitions started to take shape.

A year ago, an appeals court cleared him of charges he took part in a smear campaign against arch-foe Nicolas Sarkozy, who replaced Chirac as president and was unseated himself last May by Socialist Francois Hollande.

Saat Anak Balita Belajar Bicara

Saat Anak Balita Belajar Bicara Bagi bayi, belajar bicara merupakan bagian penting dalam proses pertumbuhannya. Keterlambatan berbicara bisa jadi petanda bahwa anak memiliki masalah pada pendengaran, atau bisa juga mengalami autisme.

Ada 310 daftar kata yang wajib dikuasai balita. Kata-kata ini menjadi pedoman yang mengindikasikan anak tidak memiliki masalah pengembangan bahasa.

Dari daftar itu, peneliti menyusun 25 kata yang paling umum diucapkan bayi yang baru belajar bicara: mama, ayah, bayi, susu, jus, hello, bola, iya, tidak, anjing, kucing, hidung, pisang, biskuit, mobil, panas, terima kasih, mandi, sepatu, topi, buku, lagi, hilang, dan bye.

Berdasar hasil survei yang menyertai penelitian itu, balita menguasai rata-rata 150 kata. Namun, balita yang hanya mengetahui 75-225 kata sudah dapat dikatakan normal.

"Jika balita tidak menggunakan sebagaian besar kata-kata tersebut pada usia dua tahun, maka mereka kemungkinan akan terlambat berbicara," ujar Professor Leslie Rescorla, yang menciptakan versi pengujian ini.

Jangan langsung panik dengan penelitian tersebut. Sebab, sekitar tiga per empat balita yang terlambat bicara, terjadi karena terlambat belajar bicara.

Hanya, jika anak masih berjuang pada daftar kata-kata tersebut hingga usia 2,5 tahun, orangtua harus mempertimbangkan agar anak mereka mendapatkan terapi bicara. Jangan menunggu hingga usia tiga tahun.

Kosakata yang terbatas pada usia dua tahun dapat menjadi petanda masalah lainnya seperti tuli, autis, bahkan dyslexia.

Menginjak usia remaja, kemampuan bahasa anak yang terlambat belajar, juga sedikit di belakang anak balita yang berbicara lebih baik. Anak-anak yang terlambat belajar bicara cenderung memiliki masalah pada memori verbal, seperti mendengarkan kata-kata, kalimat, angka, dan akan kesulitan mengulanginya kembali.

Interaksi yang nyata antara orangtua dan anak sangat penting dalam hal ini. Karena interaksi tersebut dapat membantu anak memcahkan kode berbicara. TV dan radio tidak dapat menggantikan peran orangtua.

Rambut Sehat Sehabis Smoothing

Proses smoothing mirip rebounding. Bedanya, smoothing menggunakan bahan-bahan terpilih yang tidak membuat rambut menjadi lurus kaku. Namun, Meskipun halus dan lurus, rambut dapat di-blow mengembang, sehingga tidak terlihat lepek.

Rambut hasil smoothing bisa jadi bermasalah jika Anda malas merawatnya. Rambut menjadi rusak, kering dan ujung rambut menjadi kasar. Oleh sebab itu, Anda perlu melakukan ekstra perawatan, agar rambut tetap menarik.

1. Jangan keramas hingga tiga hari usai smoothing, agar obat yang masih bekerja pada rambut tidak hilang.

2. Setelah tiga hari, lakukan hair mask, atau masker rambut, untuk memberi vitamin pada rambut yang sudah terkena zat kimia.

3. Anda sudah dapat keramas dua kali seminggu setelah melakukan hair mask. Gunakan kondisioner sehabis keramas, khususnya di bagian ujung rambut yang gampang mengering (akibat turunnya obat dari pangkal rambut ke ujung rambut).

4. Sisirlah rambut Anda dengan sisir bergigi jarang agar tidak mudah rontok.

5. Pakailah anti-frizz spray atau anti-frizz oil untuk melembapkan seluruh rambut & mencegah rambut kusut.

6. Jika Anda ingin menggunakan catok rambut agar rambut lebih lurus, pakailah hair moisturizer atau produk yang dapat melembapkan rambut, supaya tidak kering terkena panas. Sebaiknya tidak usah terlalu sering menggunakan catok rambut, karena dapat menghilangkan kelembabannya.

7. Jangan mengikat rambut, atau menjepitnya, karena akan meninggalkan bekas bergelombang yang susah untuk lurus kembali.

8. Seminggu sekali rawat rambut Anda dengan hair mask agar rambut tetap sehat. Hair mask bisa dilakukan di salon atau di rumah (Anda dapat membeli produk hair mask tersebut di supermarket atau toko-toko kosmetik).

9. Trim rambut Anda sebulan sekali, agar terbebas dari ujung-ujung rambut yang mulai kasar.

10. Jangan mengecat rambut jika baru di-smoothing. Tunggu sampai tiga bulan sampai rambut Anda siap terkena bahan-bahan kimia lagi.

How to make your hair dandruff free

Dandruff is easily recognizable by the white flakes that appear in the hair and then on the shoulders. Dandruff is an embarrassing condition that affects many people. Having dandruff may cause a lack of confidence and self-esteem. People affected by dandruff tend to avoid dark clothes in the fear of getting exposed. If you’re troubled by dandruff, the snowy, dust-like stuff that falls from the scalp to the shoulders, you’re not alone. Nearly everyone has dandruff to some degree.


What is dandruff? Dandruff is the flaking of skin cells from the scalp. Some flaking is actually quite normal, its natural for your skin to shed old cells as it regrows new ones. But it can be excessive. Some predisposing factors such as oiliness of skin, and susceptibility to dandruff can cause it. Dandruff in the severe form may be caused by a fungus, of the Malassezia genus.

The term dandruff generally refers to the condition of the skin wherein shiny, silvery scales separate from the scalp and collect amidst the hair due to excessive or normal branny exfoliation of the epidermis. Apart from the skin of the scalp, dandruff can affect beard, nose, eyebrows, behind the ears, external ear, neck, shoulders etc. White flakes on the head or dandruff can be very annoying. This scalp disorder is a sign of an imbalance in the body. If not treated, dandruff cause morewsevere disorders like hair loss or sores on the scalp.

There is a common misconception that dandruff is caused by a dry scalp, or the drying effect of excessive shampooing. There is a difference between dandruff and dry scalp. Dry scalp is just lack of either moisture or natural oils on the scalp which may indeed lead to small, dry flakes, as well as itchiness or tightness of the scalp whereas dandruff is believed to be caused by a microscopic organism on the scalp called Malassezia furfur (also known as Pityrosporum ovale or Pityrosporum orbiculare). What is the cause of dandruff?

The most common cause of dandruff (also known as scruff, seborrheic dermatitis or seborrheic eczema) is believed to be the fungus Malassezia furfur. This fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with dandruff. When Malassezia furfur grows too rapidly, the natural renewal of cells is disturbed and dandruff appears with itching. A form of dandruff known as cradle cap occurs in newborns and infants.

Anti fungal shampoo is actually very widely available in most super markets. What you will want to look for is Ketoconazole. The -zole class of antifungals are one of the more effective treatments and will rid your scalp of the fungus causing this condition, a product that contains this is Nizoral.

If you still have dandruff you will need to dig a little deeper. Dandruff is a rather complicated condition and could actually be a sign of seborrhoeic dermatitis, or psoriasis. What you will need to focus on now is your diet, how you wash your hair, how dry your scalp is and how stressed you are.
